Chuck Ragan - "Meet You in the Middle" (feat. Brian Fallon)

Chuck Ragan, the gravely-voiced leader of Hot Water Music, gives everyone a taste of his fourth LP Covering Ground with a mid-tempo strummer that Bruce Springsteen would love to have in his back catalog. And when you're doing something that pays some sort of homage to The Boss, it only makes sense to call in The Gaslight Anthem's Brian Fallon for aid.

Here's what Ragan had to say about the song:
"I wrote “Meet You In The Middle” somewhere in the UK on tour last year when I was overseas with The Gaslight Anthem in the fall of 2010. It’s about finding love when you least expect it or love finding you and knocking you into place. It’s about finding that freedom with the one you love the most and giving them your all to grow old and grey with them. Simply put, it was inspired by the hardships of being away from the ones we love the most while touring and staying connected the best we can to meet them half way."
